Tricolor Potato Salad Recipes

TRICOLOR POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In 5-quart stockpot or Dutch oven, place potatoes and water. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer covered 9 to 11 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with paring knife. Drain potatoes; cool about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper with whisk until combined. Stir in onions, parsley and thyme.
• Cut potatoes in quarters, and add to vinaigrette in bowl; toss to coat. Spread arugula on large platter. Spoon potato mixture over arugula. Serve warm.

TRICOLORE SALAD WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Place the shallots in a small shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
• In a large shallow serving bowl, combine the radicchio, endive, arugula, oranges, and olives. Lift the shallots from the vinegar with a slotted spoon, sprinkle them on the salad, and toss lightly (discard the vinegar).
• In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Pour enough of the vinaigrette over the salad to moisten well. Sprinkle with one more teaspoon salt, toss well, and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
